Resumen

This report describes the process of developing needs-based,
capacity-building strategic objectives and the results of a capacity needs
assessment that informed a stakeholder forum to develop these objectives; it
also summarizes the agenda-setting workshop that reached consensus on these
objectives and the next steps.

The capacity needs assessment was conducted by DGFP and SPS with the support
of USAID in August 2010 to assess existing strengths and identify areas for
developing competency in DGFP procurement and supply chain management at all
levels.

DGFP and SPS held a workshop in February 2011 to review findings of the
capacity needs assessment, complete a structured process to identify key
capacity building issues and strategies, and define relevant strategic
objectives.

The assessment included a sample of 206 procurement and supply chain
management staff from 52 sites.
